A cell organelle containing hydrolytic enzymes is:

A cell organelle containing hydrolytic enzymes is:
  1. Lysosome
  2. Golgi bodies
  3. Ribosome
  4. Mesosome

Solution

These are membrane-bound vesicular structures formed by the process of packaging in the Golgi apparatus. The isolated lysosomal vesicles have been found to be very rich in almost all types of hydrolytic enzymes (hydrolases - lipases, proteases, carbohydrases) optimally active at the acidic pH. These enzymes are capable of digesting carbohydrates, proteins, lipids and nucleic acids.
